My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

I hope this blog serves as a message board -that early detection is the hope for your future. Pull up your big girl panties - and get your girls checked out. Make an appointment today-(you know who you are).

I also want to document my "Journey on the Pink Brick Road" - because I don't want to forget a minute of it (I think) and I have heard from others that "Chemo Brain" or "Monkey Brain" is the result of the medication that is used to shrink my tumor. I have seen this already - so it will help me to remember where I parked my car yesterday and why was I even parking "there".

So hold my hand and I will hold yours on my journey on the Pink Brick Road (this definitely doesn't look like Kansas)!

"Unofficial" Result of Biopsy Day

The day went just as planned, and Dr. Girl 1 brought me in to a room to discuss what was going to happen and asked me if I had any questions.  But I couldn't think of any - I was trying to think of a specially good lunch place - so I was few steps beyond the procedure.  OK lets do it!  I moved rooms and all the room filled with Long Blonde haired Dr. Girls.   So the lead Dr. Appleton was in charge and was guiding the other Dr. Girl - after they gave me lots of lidocane (don't hold back) They kept checking my comfort level...I was fine.  Yhey mad a little slice  and I felt that like a sharp slice......"That hurt" I said...Pressure?  No Pain,  So they stopped and tried to get my bleeding to stop - and then gave me more lidocaine w/epinephrine.   OK , forge on......probably took 20 minutes to get 4 samples to send away.  They are seeing more of the tissue. Done....followed by a mammogram- an easy and home care instruction. Let's head to the Boathouse - one of my favorite places.

My friend ReRE was able to get her flu shot while we paced though they lobby- and plans to her Tristan in for  his...  Free shots are good!

Once we got to the Boathouse in Forest Park for lunch on a beautiful sunny October day- my brain went on vacation mode!  We stayed as long as possible....and decide we would top the day off with a Little pink hair extension so we headed to SoCounty (I have to pick up my car at RR's).  ReRe and I are now sporting the Hair of Hope - and we are feeling proud!  It was a long day, but it was mostly play and less time under the brite lites.

The results for the day are mix 2o  minute procedure with a beautiful sunny day and Thanks BE to God for this moment!

    The above blog may not be the view of a totally competent blogger - I ACCIDENTLY took a little white sleeping pill instead of my little white thyroid pill just before I wrote this. It was 9:12 is the morning....so after I posted the blog, I took a nice long day nap...

    I was not aware the hair of hope followed a biopsy. Isn't it amazing how fast we learn to make lemonade out of lemons.
